Music

 Started recording local bands around Camberley & Bagshot whilst at school with an Akai 4000DS tape machine, as well as in partnership with classmate (& technical wizard) Jeremy Mitchell (our business card named us ‘Channel One’). Examples from those early days: demo of Omaha Sheriff‘s ‘Quiet Please’ made in my family's living room; first demos of The Members made at The Langham studios in London. Discovered singer Ofra Haza in Israel and promoted her music in the UK, achieving a Top 20 hit. Worked for Rough Trade and Ace Records in London. And I recorded or produced or released or licensed or promoted all sorts of music …
